Overview

About 12 Allendale Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Allendale Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Copford, Colchester, Colchester (CO6 1BP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
